Welcome TeaChatters to TeaDay. I hope you are having a great TeaDay, but whether you are or not, stop by, sit a spell, share what is in your cup today, see what other TeaChatters are sipping today.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic, how much do you enjoy..or not enjoy brewing tea? Vote in the Poll, and share your personal feelings about brewing TEA here. So, whether you hate brewing tea or love brewing as much as drinking, tell us where you are.

I'm somewhere between #2 & #3 in that it depends on when I'm making tea. When I have the time, I really enjoy the whole process of preparing it, waiting for it to steep, getting everything together, making a nice presentation, etc. It's a gift I can give to myself or my family. However, when I'm tired or pressed for time, I wish it wasn't such a long drawn out process just to get something to drink.

Off to enjoy some hot cinnamon spice tea. It's an old friend I haven't visited in a while.

I am not a fan of the actual brewing process so I voted 2. I am the typical hurried/lazy American. I want to drink the tea, not have to think about it. I think this is one of the reasons I am not a green tea drinker. It is much more laborious to get a cup of green to come out good compared to an oolong or a black or a flavored tea. I drink most of my tea at work so I need it to be easy. I don't drink tea for it's health benefits, I honestly do like it, it just happens to be better for me than Diet Coke (of which my consumption has seriously dropped).

Today started kinda late for me for some reason. I am still on my first cup. It is the Grapefruit oolong from Teasweetie.

In a shocking move, I've voted for 3. I know, I know, I'm pretty much the definition of the utilitarian, "can't you boil any faster?", "ceremony? what ceremony?" tea drinker. But I enjoy making tea on the same level I enjoy cooking. It's sometimes a chore, but done in the right frame of mind, it's restful and quite rewarding.

Had a bit of a wild morning finishing up some long-avoided tasks, and now I'm celebrating with my first cup of tea in three days. (Well, unless you count Diet Snapple Peach Iced Tea. I don't. I love it, but it's not tea. )
